KONICHIWA KOJI!!!!!!

Tonight Koji Uehara

will make his MLB debut against Ching Mang Wang

and the Evil Empire Yankees

Three Words: Asian Media Frenzy

It’s probably going to be 2am in Japan yet those dedicated fans will deprive themselves of sleep to see Koji and Hideki. I’m not sure if those from Wang’s country (??Taiwan??) are that big fans, they might be.

The Orioles are going to giveaway his T-Shirt on Tuedsay the 21st as part of a promo T-Shirt Tuesday were they give out the T-Shirt of a guy who’s doing well but his T-Shirts aren’t avalible.

Last year they did it for Adam, Lu(uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu)ke, Super Platypus Sherill and other guys.

That’s cool that they give away T-shirts. The Asian media is insane already. It was huge in St. Louis for So Taguchi and I’m sure even bigger for these players. It will be nuts.

Wow,
I know how those Asian Photo guys can be at the stadiums. When the Yankees or Seattle come into town, they seems to come out of the woodwork to do still photos for the Japanese media.
This should be a great match up. Both to see if Wang is back to form, and to see this new Japanese pitcher take the mound for the Birds.
I am thinking this is going to be a pitcher’s duel tonight.

You think the asian media is bad in Baltimore? Try Boston. Dice-k is a legend in Japan, Okajima is pretty popular, and Saito has some fans. Tazawa will be called up soon making the media coverage even bigger!
